AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMITMENT LETTER
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Reference is made to the Commitment Letter dated as of March 23, 2007 (including the attached Term Sheet, the “Existing Commitment Letter”) between Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo (“France”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”). The Existing Commitment Letter is superseded by this Commitment Letter (as defined below) which has been executed in renewal, amendment, restatement and modification, but not in novation or extinguishment of, the obligations under the Existing Commitment Letter, and, from and after the date hereof, the Existing Commitment Letter shall be of no force and effect except to evidence the terms and conditions under which the parties hereto have heretofore incurred obligations and liabilities under the Existing Commitment Letter.
     You have advised CGMI that France, intends to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Borrower”) which intends to acquire through its own wholly-owned subsidiary shares of Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Alpha” or the “Company”). In connection therewith, France desires to establish the Facilities (as defined below), the proceeds of which will be used for the acquisition of capital stock of the Company and related costs and expenses (such transactions, collectively, the “Acquisition”).
     In connection therewith, CGMI, on behalf of Citigroup (as defined below), is pleased to inform France of Citigroup’s commitment to underwrite the entire amount of up to MXP5,667,000,000 Senior Secured Acquisition Facilities (the “Facilities”) and to act as Administrative Agent for the Facilities, subject to the terms and conditions of this letter and the attached Annex I (the “Term Sheet” and, together with this letter, this “Commitment Letter”). For purposes of this Commitment Letter, “Citigroup” means CGMI, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., Citicorp North America, Inc. and/or any of their affiliates, including, without limitation, Banamex, as may be appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
     Section 1. Conditions Precedent. Citigroup’s commitment hereunder is subject to the preparation, execution and delivery of mutually acceptable loan documentation incorporating substantially the terms and conditions outlined in this Commitment Letter (the “Operative Documents”) as well as the satisfaction of all conditions hereunder. CGMI’s commitment under this letter is not conditioned upon or subject to Successful Syndication.

 


 

     Section 2. Commitment Termination. Citigroup’s commitment hereunder will terminate on the earlier of (a) the date the Operative Documents become effective, and (b) ninety (90) days from the date hereof.
     Section 3. Syndication. Citigroup reserves the right, before or after the execution of the Operative Documents, to syndicate all or a portion of its commitment to one or more other financial institutions (including institutional investors) that will become parties to the Operative Documents pursuant to a syndication to be managed by CGMI (the financial institutions becoming parties to the Operative Documents being collectively referred to herein as the “Lenders”). CGMI will manage all aspects of the syndication in consultation with France and the Borrower, including the timing of all offers to potential Lenders, the determination of the amounts offered to potential Lenders, the acceptance of commitments of the Lenders and the compensation to be provided to the Lenders.
     France shall take, and shall use its best efforts to cause the Borrower and the Company to take, all action as CGMI may reasonably request to assist CGMI in forming a syndicate acceptable to CGMI. France’s and the Borrower’s assistance in forming such a syndicate shall include but not be limited to (i) making senior management and representatives of France, the Borrower and the Company available to participate in information meetings with potential Lenders at such times and places as CGMI may reasonably request; (ii) using France’s and the Borrower’s best efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from France’s, the Borrower’s, the Company’s and their respective owners’ lending relationships; and (iii) providing CGMI with all information reasonably deemed necessary by it to achieve Successful Syndication (as further defined).
     To ensure Successful Syndication of the Facilities, France agrees that until Successful Syndication has occurred, neither France, the Company nor the Borrower will, and will not permit any of their respective affiliates to, syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue, announce or authorize the announcement of the syndication or issuance of, or engage in discussions concerning the syndication or issuance of, any debt facility or debt security (including any renewals thereof), other than the Target Group Facilities to be provided by CGMI to the Company, without the prior written consent of CGMI.
     Citibank, N.A. will act as the sole Facility Agent for the Facility and CGMI will act as sole syndication agent. No additional agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, or other titles conferred, without the consent of Citigroup.
     “Successful Syndication” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the earlier of (i) the date upon which CGMI has reduced its hold position to no more than MXP1,416,000,000 and (ii) 120 days following Completion.
     Section 4. Fees. In addition to the fees described in Annex I, France shall pay, or shall cause the Borrower to pay the non-refundable fees set forth in the letter agreement dated the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”) between France and Citigroup. The terms of the Fee Letter are an integral part of Citigroup’s commitment hereunder and constitute part of this Commitment Letter for all purposes hereof.
     Section 5. Indemnification. France shall or shall cause the Borrower to indemnify and hold harmless Citigroup, each Lender and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any

In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by France, the Borrower, or any of their respective directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
     No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to France or the Borrower or any of their respective security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) and France, on behalf of himself, the Borrower, the Company or and any person claiming through France, the Borrower or the Company, hereby releases and holds harmless each Indemnified Party from all such liability. France acknowledges that information and documents relating to the Facilities and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby may be transmitted through IntraLinks, the Internet or similar electronic transmission systems. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons.
     The indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be in addition to any other liability the Borrower may otherwise have to an Indemnified Party and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Borrower and any Indemnified Party.

France shall, or shall cause the Borrower to pay all costs and expenses of Citigroup (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder. France shall be responsible or cause the Borrower to be responsible for the fees and expenses of its and the Borrower’s professional and other advisors (including any consultants or advisors jointly retained by France, the Borrower and/or the Company on the one hand and Citigroup on the other) referenced in Section 20 of the Term Sheet or as otherwise agreed to by the Borrower.

 


 

     Section 7. Confidentiality. By accepting delivery of this Commitment Letter, each of Citigroup and France agrees that this Commitment Letter is for such party’s confidential use only and that neither its existence nor the terms hereof will be disclosed by such party to any person other than the such party’s officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and other advisors, agents and representatives (the “Representatives”), and then only on a confidential and “need to know” basis in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that either party may make such other public disclosures of the terms and conditions hereof as such party is required by law (or as required pursuant to tender offer for the capital stock of the Company, in the opinion of such party’s counsel, to make. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Commitment Letter, each party hereby confirms that each party and such party’s Representatives shall not be limited from disclosing the U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure of the Facility.

     Section 8. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. France represents and warrants, on behalf of himself and the Borrower, that (i) all information that has been or will hereafter be made available to Citigroup, any Lender or any potential Lender by France or the Borrower or any of their respective representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is and will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were or are made, and (ii) all financial projections, if any, that have been or will be prepared by France, the Borrower or the Company and made available to Citigroup, any Lender or any potential Lender have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions (it being understood that such projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond France’s, the Borrower’s or the Company’s control, and that no assurance can be given that the projections will be realized). France hereby agrees to, or to cause the Borrower to, supplement the information and projections from time to time until the Operative Documents become effective so that the representations and warranties contained in this paragraph remain correct.
     In providing this Commitment Letter, Citigroup is relying on the accuracy of the information furnished to it by or on behalf of France and his affiliates without independent verification thereof.
     Section 9. No Third Party Reliance, Etc. The agreements of Citigroup hereunder and of any Lender that issues a commitment to provide financing under the Facility are made solely for the benefit of France and the Borrower and may not be relied upon or enforced by any other person. Please note that those matters that are not covered or made clear herein are subject to mutual agreement of the parties. Neither France nor the Borrower may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without Citigroup’s prior written consent. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or modified, or any provision hereof waived, except by a written agreement signed by all parties hereto.
     France hereby acknowledges that Citigroup is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s length basis, and the parties hereto do not intend that Citigroup act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. Each of France and Citigroup hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and agrees they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any transactions entered into between them. France also hereby acknowledges that Citigroup has not advised and is not advising France or the

 


 

Borrower as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that France and the Borrower are consulting their own advisors concerning such matters to the extent they deem appropriate.
     France acknowledges that Citigroup and/or one or more of its affiliates may provide financing, equity capital, financial advisory and/or other services to parties whose interests may conflict with the France’s, the Borrower’s or the Company’s interests. Consistent with Citigroup’s policy to hold in confidence the affairs of its customers, neither Citigroup nor any of its affiliates will furnish confidential information obtained from France, the Borrower or the Company to any of Citigroup’s other customers. Furthermore, neither Citigroup nor any of its affiliates will make available to France or the Borrower confidential information that Citigroup obtained or may obtain from any other person.
     Section 10. Governing Law, Etc. This Commitment Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Commitment Letter. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Commitment Letter by telecopier shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Commitment Letter. Sections 3 through 8 and 10 through 13 hereof shall survive the termination of Citigroup’s commitment hereunder. France acknowledges that information and documents relating to the Facility may be transmitted through Intralinks, the internet or similar electronic transmission systems.
     Section 11. Taxes; Payments. All payments under this Commitment Letter shall be non-refundable when paid and shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be made in MXP in Mexico and shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes (including VAT), levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto. If France, the Borrower, the Company or the relevant borrower under the Facilities is required by law to deduct any such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings from or in respect of any sum payable to Citigroup, such paying party shall promptly pay the amount deducted to the relevant authorities and France hereby indemnifies Citigroup for any loss, cost, expense or other liability suffered by Citigroup by reason of any failure to make such deductions or make payment to the relevant authorities. France shall pay or cause the Borrower to pay any and all such taxes and shall, or shall cause the Borrower to indemnify Citigroup for and hold it harmless against any such taxes and any liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
     To the fullest extent permitted by law, all payments hereunder shall be made regardless of any defense or counterclaim, including, without limitation, any defense or counterclaim based on any law, rule or policy which is now or hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority or regulatory body and which may adversely affect the Borrower’s obligation to make, or the right of Citigroup to receive, such payments, and such payments shall not be subject to set-off.
     The obligation of France or the Borrower, as the case may be, in respect of any sum due from it to Citigroup hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the business day following receipt by Citigroup of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency Citigroup may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to Citigroup in U.S. Dollars, France agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to or shall cause the Borrower to, indemnify Citigroup against such

 


 

loss, and if the U.S. Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to Citigroup in U.S. dollars, Citigroup agrees to remit to the Company such excess. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11 and the Fee Letter to the contrary, CGMI will accept payment in MXP of any fees payable in connection herewith or with the Facilities to the extent that such fees relate to advances denominated in MXP.
     Section 12. Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc. France hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits, for himself and his property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Commitment Letter, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding, (iv) consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to CT Corporation at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10011, United States of America, or in any other manner permitted by applicable law, and (v) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Commitment Letter will affect Citigroup’s right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect Citigroup’s right to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby against France or his property in the courts of any jurisdiction.
     To the extent that France has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to himself or his property, France hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of his obligations under this Commitment Letter.
     Section 13. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, performance or enforcement hereof.
     Section 14. Patriot Act Compliance. CGMI hereby notifies you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies France and the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of France and the Borrower and other information that will allow CGMI to identify France and the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. In that connection, CGMI may also request corporate formation documents, or other forms of identification, to verify information provided.
     Section 15. Replacement by Borrower. The parties hereto agree that upon the initial disbursement under the Facilities, any and all references to “France” in this letter shall be deemed to be references to “Borrower,” and all rights and obligations of “France” shall be deemed to be assigned to, and shall consist of rights and obligations of, “Borrower”, other than any obligations imposed upon France under Section 3 of this Commitment Letter relating to the assistance of France with syndication efforts as further described in Section 3.

 


 

     Section 16. Non-Duplication. All amounts payable under this Commitment Letter shall be payable without duplication; and to the extent any such amounts are paid by the Borrower, such amounts shall be deemed to satisfy France’s corresponding payment obligations.
